Intestinal parasites: Associations with intestinal and systemic inflammation

Abstract: SummaryThe aim of the present study was to evaluate associations between intestinal parasitic infection with intestinal and systemic inflammatory markers in school‐aged children with high rates of obesity. Plasma concentrations of C‐Reactive Protein (CRP), leptin, TNF‐α, IL‐6 and IL‐10 were measured as systemic inflammation markers and count of stool leukocytes as marker of intestinal inflammation in 291 children (6‐10 years). Intestinal parasitic infection was measured by stool examination. Logistic regressio… Show more

“…Intestinal parasite infections may cause behavioral problems via multiple plausible biological mechanisms. Intestinal parasites may influence the maturing and developing brain by causing micronutrient deficiencies [ 20 ], or affecting gut-brain-axis by changing the intestinal microbiome [ 25 27 ], and causing intestinal inflammation [ 28 ]. Changes in the intestinal microbiota after antibiotic treatment [ 41 , 42 ] for intestinal parasite infections may also impact the children’s brain.…”

“…Intestinal parasites also affect the microbial imbalance of intestinal microbiota [25][26][27]. Intestinal parasites alter the intestinal physiology, cause chronic intestinal inflammation [28], and impact on the microbiota-gut-brain axis [27,[29][30][31]. The gut microbiome affects brain function by changing immunological mechanisms, causing inflammation, and modifying the functions of several neurotransmitters [32][33][34][35][36].…”
